Stuffed With Gratitude
Welcome to the first issue of The Cucamonga Scoop. We are Rancho Cucamonga's only weekly publication that delivers community news and updates.
The turkey is done, the cleanup is done (hopefully), and the leftovers are calling. Hopefully you spent time reflecting on the things which make your life joyous and full. Maybe you are stuffed with both turkey 🦃 and gratitude 🙏.

Did you know?
Production has wrapped on Flamin' Hot, the film adaptation of the story of Richard Montañez. Produced by Eva Longoria, the film is based on the story of Richard Montañez inventing Flamin' Hot Cheetos in the Rancho Cucamonga Frito Lay plant. The truth of the story is questionable but one thing is true – we'll get to see it play out in movie form sometime soon. A release date has not yet been set.
